New iPhone 7 Features

Starting with our iPhone 7 review, we will inform you about the most important iPhone 7 new features. Although many say that the new iPhone 7 hasn’t been a breakthrough in terms of the technology development, there are many new features added to it. Probably the one that is most noticeable is that Apple has decided to remove the headphone jack and to make the very first Apple wireless headphones. Another thing is that finally the iPhone is made to be waterproof and also has a better home button, more colored display as well as much louder and clearer speakers. One of the features that Apple concentrates on is, of course, improving the camera. And yes, that has continued with the iPhone 7 and the new dual-lens 12MP camera which captures a wider range of colors and gives the user the ability to zoom in and get perfect clear and high-quality pictures. Having in mind these are the main changes and improvements made on Apples new phone we will sum up the pros and cons in the following iPhone 7 review.

iPhone 7 Advantages

Dual-lens camera

Probably many of you reading this iPhone 7 review are wondering how much has the camera on the new iPhone 7 changed. The answer is that Apple has produced a brand new dual-lens camera offering the iPhone photography enthusiasts better picture capturing and images with better colors, improved night photographing as well as much better zoomed in photos. We can gladly say that the iPhone 7 is designed work not only as a smartphone but also as a small camera that every photography enthusiast can carry on a daily basis and capture the finest picture with the new dual-lens camera.

The iPhone 7 is Waterproof

All owners of previous iPhone models have probably been stressing a lot about water damaging their expensive phone. Apple has finally heard the voice of their customers and has finally made the new iPhone 7 waterproof. This is considered to be one of the main iPhone 7 advantages as there have been many cases of falling iPhones in lakes, seas, glasses of water and of course, toilets. Definitely some funny scenarios but yet true.

Longer Battery Life

If you have owned or some of your friends or family has owned an iPhone, then you have already heard about the problems with the battery life of the iPhones. Considering that, Apple has made an improvement in terms of battery percentage making the battery last longer and the processor work more efficiently so it doesn’t drain the energy from the battery as quickly as the previous iPhones. With approximately 2 hours longer battery life, this is one of the best iPhone 7 advantages and one of the most needed iPhone 7 new feature.

Improved Processor

One of the main iPhone 7 new features is the better processor speaking of the iPhones 7 performance. With the new A10 processor, Apple has made a big improvement on the overall performance of their new smartphone making it much faster. However, that is not the only advantage of the A10 processor as it has two efficient cores which help in making the iPhone 7 battery last longer.

Wireless Headphones (advantages)

It was very brave from Apple to release the firs wireless headphones for the iPhone 7. Although many iPhone enthusiasts weren’t happy about this feature we must admit that these headphones have many iPhone 7 advantages included in them. Firstly they are wireless so you wouldn’t have to worry about wrapped tangled wires anymore. Also, they have a built-in microphone as well as integrated Siri. The famous Dr.Dre firm also released wireless headphones compatible with the iPhone 7.

iPhone 7 Disadvantages

Price

The first and foremost iPhone 7 disadvantage is the iPhone 7 price. With the lowest price of $649 you’re probably already asking yourself ”is the iPhone 7 worth buying?”. And yes, you have the right to ask yourself that question because in many countries that is an average salary so many people wouldn’t want to spend their monthly earnings on a gadget. Although it’s a nice phone, a very powerful phone (like a PC), it costs way too much.

No VR (virtual reality) nor 3D Camera

Being one of the top trends in technology ,we all expected Apple to live up to the expectations and to include VR and 3D cameras in the new iPhone 7 smartphones. Many of the latest Android smartphones have this feature so if we compare Apples iPhone 7 to the latest Android smartphones (i.e. HUAWEI mobile phones), we must say that the iPhone lags behind in this feature.

Outer design

Next on our list of iPhone 7 disadvantages (in our opinions of course) is the outer design of the iPhone 7. In the previous versions of the iPhone the outlook and design was been changed and impressively improved from one model to the other, which made every new model more appealing and more luxurious looking than the previous one. However, that is not the case with the iPhone 7, which is made same as the iPhone 6 and 6s.

Wireless Headphones (disadvantages)

Previously we mentioned and reviewed the advantages of the wireless headphones, and now we will take a look at the disadvantages of these new iPhone wireless headphones. One of the first things that comes to your mind is probably losing one of the earbuds. How much is a new pair of these? Well, they’re pricey all right. They cost approximately $159 USD. So if you lose one either you will end up listening music from your iPhone 7 on one earbud or you can spend a fortune to buy new ones. Also one of the downsides of the AirPods is that they need charging (5 hours battery life + a case that they are charging form which has 24-hour battery life).

Lack of technical breakthrough

While all the previous models of the Apple iPhone had something that would be impressive speaking of the technological side, these iPhone lacks that breathtaking technological breakthrough that we got used to speaking of Apple’s product. So many customers are wondering if Apple is out of ideas or they preparing something for their 10 year anniversary next year and the iPhone 7s. Nevertheless, this is a big iPhone 7 disadvantage.
